Life has been busy and I am just getting all the details from her fun summer posted. Obviously the biggest highlight was that her brother whom she is very close to came home from his mission. We purposefully had put Ricki's trip off so that he could come with her.
Wish Granting Party @ZAGG
A month in advance Make A Wish contacted us and let us know that the ZAGG corporation was going to sponsor Ricki's wish granting party. They went above and beyond our wildest expectations of what began a magical journey for Ricki. We had told Ricki that ZAGG had heard about her service to Primary Children's hospital and wanted to include that in a company party. They also wanted to know if she would dress up as a Disney princess and perform for their employees children. Ricki was thrilled at the prospect! We determined that we would put together the costume of Belles farm dress since that would be pretty easy. Then shortly after they surprised Ricki with a beautiful Belle dress to perform in. When we went to their head quarters to try the dress on they informed her the dress was hers to keep! She couldn't believe it and was so excited! The night of the party we told her it was time to go and she walked out the door to discover a limo waiting outside! She screamed in delight! She started pitting the pieces together and realized this was part of her Make A Wish. It was a happy drive to Salt Lake. Her sister in law had brought some Disney Music that Ricki her friend McKell and her cousin sang to all the way.
Upon arrival they took pictures like she was a celebrity making her feel so special. They had dinner their waiting and then after dinner there was the service project where we all assembled kits for Primary children's Ricki had her picture taken with everyone and then went to change for her performance. She first sang the disney song "Summer" and then had the audience dance with her to the song "Be Our Guest" after that dance we had made a Beast costume for her brother Nate and she danced with him. After the performance was over they had Gaston come and sing to her which she absolutely Loved! It was definitely the icing on the cake! What an amazing way to start a magical summer for Ricki.
